Summary: Fresh and hilarious
Review: From Joan Mazza, author of Dreaming Your Real Self: A Personal Approach to Dream Interpretation.Ghostwriter is a funny, funny book and a wonderful new character in Jake O'Hara. A page-turner as well. Can't wait for the next of the series! Noreen Wald's mix of humor, wit, and mystery lingers with a grin.
Rating: 
Summary: Good start for the series
Review: I really liked the first of the Jake O'Hara books. The characters were hilarious, the mystery interesting, the descriptions of different areas of NYC very well drawn. I particularly like the funeral scene in Calvary Cemetary. It was a perfect description of a burial in that old cemetery. This is a good start to the series.

Summary: Humor without slapstick
Review: I've never been to New York, but I felt like I'd been taken on a guided tour after reading this book. A top-notch mystery with a rich setting, I can't wait to see more of Jake O'Hara.

Summary: Who is Killing Ghosts?
Review: Noreen Wald answers that question in her book Ghostwriter and she answers it well. This is a great first in a series. A witty, quick read, Ghostwriter tells the story of Jake O'Hara, ghostwriter extraordinare. She lives in New York with her mother and belongs to GA (ghostwriters anonymous). All is fine until she is asked to ghost for the Queen of Murder Most Cozy and her fellow ghosts start turning up dead. Will Jake be next? Who is killing off her friends by the book? Could it be the handsome and wealthy Dennis Kim, a successful agent and a childhood enemy of Jake's? Could it be Too Tall Tom or the Mob? What about Gypsy Rose, her mother's best friend and occultist? Or the sensual therapist who seems to have a connection to everyone and anyone? With the help of her family and friends Jake teams up with the police detective assigned to the case but can she find the killer before he finds her? While this was not the most suspenseful mystery I have read it certainly was fun - mostly because of the wacky characters that Noreen Wald has so expertly drawn. I can't wait to read more of the series.
